worldwide wastewater challenges

In many parts of the world, water scarcity is a growing issue. In order to secure future access to reliable water sources, crucial reuse opportunities for wastewater have to be seized today.


from waste to resource

  • Wastewater can be a cost-efficient and sustainable source of energy, nutrients, organic matter and other useful by-products.
    • Treating high-strength industrial wastewater not only helps to save precious natural resources and comply with discharge regulations, it can also create economic value.

utilize your waste streams with Pentair

Pentair offers different X-Flow Tubular Membrane Elements for aerobic and anaerobic Membrane Bioreactors (MBR) that make the wastewater ready for discharge or reuse.


MBR systems improve the efficiency of the reactor by allowing the biomass to be concentrated, and supply superior water quality. MBR Systems are applicable in Airlift and Crossflow configurations.

Why membrane technology?

  • Cost-effective way to separate unwanted particles.
  • Delivers high quality effluent after treatment.
  • Effectively removes organic micro-pollutants, from pesticides to pharmaceuticals products.
  • Produces high-purity water for reuse.
  • Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) offer compactness, flexibility, and ability to operate reliably under remote control.
  • MBRs can turn wastewater into process water for cleaning and rinsing purposes.
